these papers an article purporting to be
written by a Mr. Udolnhs Wolfe, of 'Sclici-
dam Schnnps' notoriety. lie tells us that,
while in the "ew York Custom Houso tho

choicest brands. With one gallon of pure I

The National Intell gciiecr snmi! timu
siuco published a series uf articles on the
question of tho sovereignty of Congress
over the Terrilones.- The following are'
soun of the conclusions at which it arrived:
From our citation, Hum, It appears
1. That In the first lelatitm of Coi -
gress with regard to the Xorlhwist Ti rri
torv, nnder tho old Confederation, no re
striction was pl.ici-d on the extension uf
slavery by tho net of April 23, UU.
2. llmt such n rtr.ct.On, atioinpan eil,
hnwerer, with a chuiso for tho rendition nf
fugitive slaves, was subsequently passed by
Congress In the adoption of the ordiimncu
or 1787, on tho lStli or July In that vcur.
, that tins ordinance wus p.isiied unan
imously by the Continental Congress, niuf
that its engagements were known to the
frainers or our present Constitution, which,
by the fittt claue of its sixth article, fde.
daring " all eugagemeiits entered into Im--foro
the adoption of the Constitution us
valid against tho United Slates under thu
Confederation') has heeu commonly held
to confirm thu articles of compact con
tained in tho ordinance of 1781.
4. That the Constitution, by this clause,
and by the general provision iu veiling Con
gress with power to "dispose or and make'
all need fill rules and regulations respecting
the territory or Other properly belonging to
the United States," was understood at the
time of its formation to confer upon the Na
tional Legislature a grunt of power ample'
to meet tho requirements of tlie Territorial,
i'g!.slutioii already adopted under the olj
Confederation, which legislation could thu
bo constitutionally reaffirmed under the
ucw charter, even if it hnd been unconstitu
tionally pnsscd under the Articles of Con'
federation.
5. Thnt Congress nfcordingly proceeded
by tho act of the 7th of August, 178U, to
reaffirm the provisions of tho ordinance of
1737, u step which con!.) not have been
legally taken without a grant of potter sup'
posed to bo adequuto to tlio exigencies of
tho case. .
G. That the power of Congress to pro
hibit slavery in the Territories of tho IV
ion received by this act an endorsement
under thu present Constitution in thu first
Congress of tho United States, which
counted uniong its members fourteen who1
had sat In the Convention at Ph ludelphin,
Mr. Madison being of that number.
7. Thnt this snmo Centres., on tho 2d of
April, 1700, accepted from North Caroli."
n!i the deed of cession lit which it was stip
ulated, with regard to the Territory south
of the Ohio, " that no rtgumlfoh made or
td be madii by Congress should tend td
eiiiaiicipato sluves."
8. That by this stipulation on thu part
of North Carolina tho power of Congress
to enact tueh "regulations'' was plainly
implied; und that by the acceptance of this
stipulation Congress pledged itself to rec
oguizu and sanction thu institution of slave
ry in the ceded territory, which it could
not haw lawfully douo unless its power hnd
been plenary uud discretionary on this sub
jeet. U. That tho power was so understood
niul expounded by Madison In thu debates
had in Congress iu 1707 On tho ndm'ssioii
of Tennesseu into th?) Union ns a State. t
10. That by ilia netor April 7, 1 " 98;
organizing thu Territdry of Mississippi;
Cdngress volunteered to Sanction tlio insti
tution of slavery n proposition for its' re
strii'tiou nnd prohibition having obtained
buttwulvo votes in the Housu of llpre-seututiv'-s.
11. That the debnto. had on the question1
raided in the caso of Mississippi, the power
of Congress over slavery in that Territory
was conceded dti nil hands to bo absolute;
but that Congrcps yielded to the forco of
representations by which it was sought to
show that in exercising this absolute power
respect should bo hnd to the different situ
ations of different territorial rngions; ill
soulu Of which slavery might bo properly
prohibited und in others allowed on grounds
of political propriety and expediency, sub
ject to th il discretion of Congress.
12. Thut utthnt early period in' mir par
liamentary history this discretionary pow
er was exercised without intoh rudca or ex
action on tlie part or either tlio North or
the South. , .
13. Thut Iu the sumo, deit bf ili)8, sanc
tioning slavery in the Mississippi .Territory,
Congress "regulated1' tho iusi'lution by
forbidding tho importation iutd Mississippi
of any slaves from any portor place without
tlie limits of the United States; nnd as this
prohibition was luid upon the said Territo
ry prior to 1808, it proceeded on tlie sup
position that Congress had absolute Juris
diction iu the premUes, uud could oxorci. e
with regard td tho Territories a power
which it was' forbidden to cxerciso at thut
date with regard to such States us might
desire to continue the Importation or slaves
from Africa.,
14. That the doctrine of popular sover
eignty was cot only unknown at this early
period, but was expressly repudiated by
Congress ond by the General GovernmM
with reference alike to the Territuifc or
the North and of tlio South.
15. That on the acquisition uf Louisiana
Congress proceeded to gwero, the new U-:
ritory by virtue of tho 5iu? pV'nary an
thorlty understood t'v. bo Mitiiil by the
china.' empowering Cigrecs M ta diiposc of
and make all needful rnks aad regulations,
respecting tU territory cr other property
bclor.giiity ta tho Uuil)d Sinks."
10. Ttit the modern Democratic theory
which ictricts tlie intendment f this lan e
to the territory belonging to the Vu'ou t
the dale oT the formation of the Conslitc-i
tion was expressly repudiated by the friends,
of the Louisiana purchase.
17. That, in organizing the Territory
or Orleans and to setting off the District of
Louisiana, CongresH assumed at once to
sanction and " regulatv" the institntion of
lavery in tho new possessions acquired by
th. treaty of 1803. ...
